Tank, your situation sucked, didn't know about that insta lock thing...
BTW, some systems have condor sitting at almost every point of interest, including the place you warp into.
Hope you rats got a sense of humor for the next paragraph: Long ago, I got insta killed by some pirates at a gate in my Merlin, (I just couldn't load all of them fast enough), I didn't get a chance to even warp away, just warped in, and boom, I was gone. On the forums, they said that there is a good chance I had a bp, or skills in the hold. Maybe CONDOR thought you had a bp or some skills in your bship hold, (have you gotten your hands on the OG Miner II BP?).
All joking aside, I think the reason this kind of ridiculous response came was because there were pirates sitting in 1.0 systems taking on newer players. This is the kind of thing that would make someone leave the game, log in for the first time, go to get some ore, and your ship gets blown up...Loosing customers is bad for CCP, and the easiest customers to loose are the ones that have yet to make a serious investment. I think CCP is just trying to figure out a way to make sure people who start to invest in the game get hooked.In order to do this, they had to make sure the person didn't instantly leave because they got blown up, so in order to make the code simpler, they just took it on themselves to gank anyone with low security rating in high secure space.
It absolutely sucks to loose a ship you worked hard to get. It is a decision point, do you stay in the game, or have you had enough of all the bs?
This applies to loosing a ship to a pirate because you were travelling afk (My first Moa), loosing a ship to a CTD (my second Moa), or loosing a ship to a change in the game mechanics (Your Bship). To be upset is understandable, get up, go outside, walk around, see that its just a game. Then make your decision.
Final Point, CCP should have an experienced pirate corp in their next meeting (what the hell are they called, CSM or some such nonesense), I think pirating is an absolutely acceptable aspect of the game. They need someone who enjoys pirating to be there and someone who doesn't. This will allow them to make a better game.
Final Point, this game feels like I am paying for a beta, helping CCP build a better game. I'll simply stop eating out so much, $13 ain't so bad.
Final Point, So, I'm a compulsive liar, what you gonna do about it.
Final Point, I'm feeling kinda lonely, if anyone has any responses to this (including flames), simply eve-mail my real character Stryker. |
